How do you change a 110 Volt air conditioner to run on 240 Volt without a transformer Can you just get a 240 Volt motor?

The best advice anyone can give you is to call a licensed Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning technician to discuss exactly why you think it might make sense to convert this air conditioner unit to run on 240 volts instead of 110 Volts.
He or she would also ask you about the make, model and power of the particular unit which is the subject of this question, and discuss the idea with you.
Without having those details this question is impossible to answer.

How many watt transformer is needed for 2.5 amp motor?
Need to know the voltage of the motor and primary voltage of the transformer.
Can an air conditioner unit running on 250 volts be run directly by 120 volts?
No, the unit has to operate on the voltage specified. The internal controls are all designed to operate on a 240 volt input. The motor in the air conditioner will not operate at the lower voltage and without this compressor motor operating the unit will not get cold.
1 12hp motor takes what kva?
12HP is approximately 10.8 KVA. You would want to use a 15KVA transformer to supply this motor. KW = HP * .75 KVA = KW * 1.2 (These formulas are approximate)
How do you reduce the speed of a 15 kW 3 phase motor without using variable speed control?
If the load is connected to the motor via belts, you can change the speed the load is turning by changing the pulley sizes. To get the load to slow down, increase the size of the pulley on the load; to get it to speed up, increase the size of the pulley on the motor. To reduce the speed of the motor itself, you'll have to alter the line frequency, which you can't do without a variable frequency drive attached to the motor.
Can you change 24 volt to 110 volt?
No, a new circuit from the electrical panel would have to be installed using a 2 pole breaker of the correct size along with the corresponding wire size to accommodate the amperage of the motor.
How do you start a motor without a starter?
By the use of auto transformer and bridge rectifier we can start dc motor.
Will using a transformer to convert 230V to 12V DC consume more energy than using a few capacitors and resistors without a transformer?
no, the transformer is much more efficient <><><> HOWEVER- a transformer only changes the voltage of AC current- it does not change it to DC. You will still need diodes or rectifiers. You can also use a motor/generator- a 230v AC motor turns a 12 v DC generator.
How many watt transformer is needed for 2.5 amp motor?
Need to know the voltage of the motor and primary voltage of the transformer.
Difference between transformer and induction motor?
1. Induction Motor has an air-gap but transformer has no air gap rather it is mutually link. 2. Induction Motor has high no-load current than transformer. 3. Induction Motor is a dynamic device. 4. Induction Motor has high power factor.
How do you change the speed of motor without change pole and frequency?
On an AC motor you basically vary the frequency on a DC you can vary the voltage.
What devices transformer electrical energy into mechanical energy?
An electric motor, such as a starting motor
Why is the motor of the transformer locked?
The only motor associated with a transformer is an on-line tap changing mechanism motor! So your question doesn't really make any sense!
How do you load a transformer?
Anything that draws energy from a supply is a load. So you 'load' a transformer by attaching a lamp, a motor, etc., to the transformer's secondary windings.
How are the two circuits of an induction motor similar to the circuit of a transformer?
They are magnetically coupled--a current in one circuit induces a current in the other one in both a transformer and an induction motor.
What are facts about motor cars?
Motor is use to replace petrol in motor car.There are no air conditioner in the car.
